Good for the Most Part

This is the first clock app that I downloaded that has the time and date both in large fonts. I find that important at night.

I wish this app had a widget feature also with large time and date (this app was last updated two years ago - abandoned?).

I also wish it was easier to play my Apple Music songs on the app. I tried every button and it doesn’t work.

Thank you for reading.

PS: Can we remove that message to upgrade the app? The option is not available where live.

Useless. Doesn’t launch or open

Useless on my iPad. Doesn’t even open or launch so I can’t comment on it further than that.

Works well

Tried a couple of radio alarm clocks out of the App Store but this one does exactly what I want especially the sleep timer. Simple to use interface that I picked up in 10 minutes. Like the weather and temperature on the main display. I think this will help. Perhaps some more gentle colours will make it better.

Thank you
